Relief from nausea
I have been tapering klonopin,switched to valium, for a year now. Have come a ways but still have a way to go. Nausea was one of the biggest issues, with resultant appetite and weight loss.
Tried the usual Rx (zofran, phenegran, compazine), and also ginger and CBS tincture. None worked over time. So I was lucky to get myself referred to a Symptom Specialist at Duke. He prescribed 15 remeron and 2.5 mg zyprexa. This was too sedating, so I cut these back to a tolerable dose, taken at night. The combination works better than anything I've tried.
If I have episodes during the day, I take .625 mg. zyprexa. Appetite and weight have improved.
Hope this will help someone else who is in "nausea hell".
Would like any feedback. Thanks!

See an Internist who can do a full work up
GI includes stomach liver intestines and pancreas
Neurological issues can cause nausea drug interactions too
The Internist can determine the cause Good Luck
I have taken pepcid over the counter as well as about 10 different prescribed medications. None work. Thanks. Any more ideas?
I take about 10 pills a day. Asked about interactions but no answers. I am going to try a internist next. Thanks and appreciate your input. Any more ideas?
Try a functional dr or a naturopath. Also, reflux does absolutely cause nausea.
Did you recently start any new meds?
The real problems started when started taking anti nausea meds. I take dexlansoprazole at night and when i wake up i feel lousy. As day goes on somewhat better. Also just went to Johns Hopkins University Hospital for second opinion and told to go to a motility clinic. Really hard getting answers about drug interaction. Hit or miss. Appreciate any additional input. Thanks.
I would think your pharmacist could tell you about possible drug interactions. I have GERD and often am nauseous first thing in the morning, I feel likely due to acid during the night.
I thought the pharmacist would know too! lol. My symptons are like yours too. Nauseous first thing in the morning. Reminds me of the movie Groundhog Day. Same thing everyday. Anyway, i was told to go to a motility clinic by Johns Hopkins Univer. gastros. Gonna ask my primary gastro what he thinks or he will drop me. Thanks!
I am having a motility test next week! I’m hoping to have the Linx procedure.
Oddly I had BRAVO and manometry. Manometry showed hiatal hernia but surgeon said not that bad.
